-20- The aerial photographs are available from the Division. Stipulation No. 5 THE PERMITTEE SHALL VERIFY THE LOCATIONS OF ALL SPRINGS AND SEEPS IDENTIFIED IN THE PRELIMINARY SPRING SURVEY TF6l0UGH A FIELD SURVEY. THIS FIELD SPRING SURVEY SHALL INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP KEYED TO A LOCATION MAP. THE DESCRIPTION SHALL CONTAIN THE POTENTIAL OR OBSERVED SOURCE OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP (i.e., SANDSTONE OUTCROP, ALLUVIUM, FAULT ZONE, FRACTURE ZONE, ETC.); THE MEASURED OR ESTIMATED FLOW RATE OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP; AND THE FIELD MEASUREMENT OF pH, ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITY, AND TEMPERATURE FOR EACH SPRING OR SEEP. THIS SPRING SURVEY SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN MARCH OR APRIL OF 1984, WHEN WEATHER PERMITS ACCESS TO THESE AREAS. RESULTS OF THE FIELD SPRING SURVEY SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION BY JUNE 1, 1984. Stipulation No. 6 THE PERMITTEE SHALL MONITOR THE FLOWS OF ALL SPRINGS AND SEEPS WITHIN THE MAXWELL MINE'S PERMIT AND ADJACENT AREAS ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR ONE GROWING SEASON (APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER). THE PERMITTEE MAY REQUEST A REDUCTION IN SPRING AND SEEP MONITORING FOLLOWING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE DATA OBTAINED DURING THE GROWING SEASON, AND SUBMITTAL OF AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SPRINGS AND SEEPS TO SURFACE FLOWS, IRRIGATION PRACTICES, LIVESTOCK WATERING, WILDLIFE WATERING, AND DOMESTIC USE. The applicant is required by Rule 2.04.7(1)(iii) to wells within one mile of the permit area. The well applicant identifies wells adjacent to and upstream wells north of the Purgatoire River. It is unclear adjacent to the Maxwell Mine have been surveyed or areas. Stipulation No. 7 provide a map locating all survey provided by the of the Allen Mine and some whether the wells in or if no wells exist in these WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE, THE PERMITTEE SHALL PROVIDE A MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF ALL WELLS WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE PERMIT AREA. IN ADDITION, THE PERMITTEE SHALL ASSESS THE PROBABLE HYDROLOGIC CONSEQUENCES OF MINING ON THOSE WELLS. The Quaternary age alluvial deposits along the Purgatoire River contain ground water. These alluvial deposits are a major ground water source in the region. Most of the domestic, livestock, and irrigation wells identified in the permit and adjacent areas are completed in the alluvium adjacent to the Purgatoire River. The quality and quantity of alluvial ground water in this aquifer is dependent on the quality and quantity of water in the river and the domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities on, and adjacent to the alluvial body.
